Abstract

An investigation was conducted with fifteen pea genotypes and three replications. The maximum number of seeds per pod, maximum pods per hectare and maximum pod yield per plant were observed under the treatment P-89. From the data presented, it may be concluded that the genotype of variety P-89 was found suitable for valley hills on the basis of yield parameters, followed by variety Priya and PB-89. The yield and quality of crop (pea) are very complex characteristics depending on certain biological alignments between environment and heredity. The characteristic of a cultivar as well as combination of trials differ according to climatic conditions of the localities (valley conditions) Statistical analysis for all the characters studied by method Randomized block design (RBD) and for the statistical analysis of data the C.D. (Critical difference) at 5% level of significance for each character was worked out.

The genetic hereditary and favorable climatic conditions affect the flowering.

Low temperature required for good sugar content in pea.
